The Incubus System Chapter 830. Mask
Breaking the silence, I leaned forward.
"Mind explaining further?" I inquired.
The very fact that Azrael and Lord Damon were discussing this made it clear that this was no trifling matter.
Azrael shook his head from side to side. "I can't give more information. That's all I know," he admitted. "I just felt a huge, strange power. Something I've never felt before... It felt very faint, like a distant echo."
He continued. "At first, I thought it might be a sign of another demon lord's birth, so I decided to investigate. But when I traced it to the source, there was nothing there. It was in the middle of nowhere."
"Strangely," he added, "I felt a presence there, but then it faded, and just disappeared into thin air. I've never encountered anything like it before."
Azrael's territory was indeed far from the capital and he didn't have a portal. But he had one of the best speeds among the demon lords so he could arrive here in no time in a few hours.
"Hmm…" My eyes darted around the room, searching for clues that might connect the dots between this peculiar incident and the recent attacks on the human world. I felt that this couldn't be a mere coincidence.
'This is strange, the attack on the human world just happened,' I mused. 'He should be just feeling it, but why did he feel it a few hours ago?'
But then, doubts began to creep into my thoughts.
'Is it because of something else?' I pondered internally, my eyes narrowing in concentration. 'Or is he…' My thoughts trailed off, a bold accusation flashing through my mind.
It couldn't be, could it?
The possibility that Azrael might be involved, intentionally or otherwise.
I clenched my jaw, knowing that jumping to conclusions without any evidence was reckless. It was just a suspicion that had emerged for no apparent reason. But it seemed like every time I attempted to draw a logical conclusion, new questions showed up.
"The power... Is it something similar to Zatan and Beel's?" I inquired, leaning in closer.
Once again, Azrael shook his head. "The power…" he began, his voice trailing off as he sought the right words to describe it. "It isn't quite like a typical demon lord's power. Wait…"
He fell into a brief silence, deep in thought as he tried to find a comparison. His furrowed eyebrows indicated his disbelief at what he was about to say.
"It was kind of similar to a demon lord's," he continued, his tone fraught with confusion, "but not quite. It's like it belongs to a demon lord, yet it doesn't feel like it belongs to our kin. It's somewhere in between, like a hybrid of a demon lord's power and that of some other creature. But, Damian, I really don't know what it is."
"For sure, it is not angelic power," he stated firmly.
Lord Damon's face contorted with seriousness. "Okay, what creature do you mean?" he inquired.
Azrael pondered the question, his eyes drifting toward the floor. "Hmm…" he mused.
He had to sift through his impressions.
"I'm not sure about that. It's not human either." His gaze was distant, as if trying to grasp a fleeting memory. "But I feel nostalgia from it. It's like belonging to this demon world. Like… the core maybe?"
In that fraction of a moment, I noticed a subtle change in Lord Damon's expression, a flicker of realization that crossed his face. It was fleeting, easily missed, but it didn't escape my observation. He knew something, and that small revelation had set off alarm bells in my mind.
Yet, like the skilled diplomat he was, Lord Damon quickly masked his reaction.
